All of your favorite ingredients in pumpkin pie come together in this delicious ice cream. Do not confuse pure cooked pumpkin pure with pumpkin pie mix. You may also use your own homemade cooked pumpkin puree in place of canned.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree or 1-3/4 cups homemade cooked pumpkin puree, well-draiined
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Preparation:

Place pumpkin puree into a strainer lined with cheesecloth for 15 minutes to drain any excess water.

Gently heat heavy cream, white sugar, and brown sugar until small bubbles form around the edge of the pan, stirring often. Do not boil. Remove from heat and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.

Beat drained pumpkin puree, sweetened cream mixture, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, scraping sides often.

Pour mixture into ice cream machine. Start machine and freeze for 20 minutes, or as per manufacturer's recommendations for your machine.

Yield: 1 quart

Just like Pumpkin Pie!November 28, 2007By caw_1952
"This ice cream was delicious! The flavor was wonderful. It tasted just like pumpkin pie without the crust. I doubled the recipe and made it in my Cuisinart. It made too much for the machine so it didn't get really hard until it sat in the freezer for awhile. I received so many compliments I will have to make it again! I'm thinking of adding a few pecans the next time. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for something different for your holiday dinner."
